Why does the Moon appear reddish during a total lunar eclipse and not go completely dark?
What will be an ideal response?
During a total lunar eclipse, you would see Earth's atmosphere lit from behind by the sun. The red glow from this ring of sunsets and sunrises around the circumference of Earth shines into the umbra of Earth's shadow, making the umbra not completely dark. That glow illuminates the moon during totality and makes it glow coppery red.
